Windstopper® Soft Shell
Windstopper® Soft Shells offer total windproofness and maximum breathability, combining the comfort of a soft mid-layer and the water resistance of a shell in one garment. Windstopper® Soft Shells keep you comfortable with the freedom of movement you need for enhanced performance in a wide range of activities and weather conditions. The total windproofness protects your body’s warmth from the chilling effects of wind and weather and the maximum breathability prevents overheating and perspiration build-up by allowing moisture vapor to easily escape. The fabric is highly water repellent: it sheds rain and snow and dries quickly.
RET value
The RET value defines the resistance that a textile fabric opposes to moisture vapor. The lower the resistance the higher the breathability of the fabric. The RET value is evaluated in the following established classification:
RET value 0 - 6.0: very good moisture vapor transmission
RET value 6.0 - 13.0: good moisture vapor transmission
RET value 13,0 - 20,0: satisfactory moisture vapor transmission
RET value 20,0 +: unsatisfactory moisture vapor transmission
